Being 4,000 miles away from the game adds a little more objectivity to any analysis of it. I was able to watch the game thanks to the magic of some technology, and like most of you I swayed from angry disappointment to elation.
Yes, we won the game and that is always important but the second half performance, for me at least, disguised the frailty of the first period.
I tend to agree with a couple of you that some players have eased off, thinking perhaps, that this will be easy - it is only Luton afterall! The first half was a lesson that arrogance and assumption is usually beaten by heart and determination.
This is exactly the same attitude which seemed to appear at the end of last season; the manager kicking you in the **************** or dropping you altogether should have addressed that before the game began. He seemed to do it at half-time, but no player should take the field thinking that all he has to do, is turn up and collect the points.
Yes, Luton have more to play for than does AFCB, but unless Andoni can sort out the dressing room attitude nothing will change - we will always be chasing games, and not always successfully.
Are we safe for another season, I think so, but if I was the owner that is not enough. I want players who one day will go toe to toe with the City, or the Pool or the Arsenals of the world with a solid chance to win. Talent is one thing, attitude is equally important and this squad is not quite there yet, in my opinion.
Having said all that, I like the manager's attitude, I would rather win 9 -8 than win 1-0, that is entertainment, that is why we / you guys pay 30 quid a game!
We do have a great deal of talent in this squad, I do not want Solanke to leave - it would have a profoundly negative impact on our style of play, Tavernier needs to better understand his role, several players need to learn how to effectively shoot from distance, but overall I like the way we play.
Let's return to the high press we started the season with, it looks as though we have retreated from that, and it hurts us.
Thanks for reading this.
